Why is hydroelectric power considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy?

1 answer:

7 0

Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.

A 70.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 15.0 m

Levart [38]

Answer:

1.3823 rad/s

20.7345 m/s

28.66129935 m/s²

$a=2.92164g$

2006.29095 N radially outward

Explanation:

r = Radius = 15 m

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Angular velocity is given by

$\omega=13.2\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1.3823\ rad/s$

Angular velocity is 1.3823 rad/s

Linear velocity is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=15\times 1.3823\\\Rightarrow v=20.7345\ m/s$

The linear velocity is 20.7345 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=r\omega^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=15\times 1.3823^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=28.66129935\ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration is 28.66129935 m/s²

Acceleration in terms of g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{28.66129935}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=2.92164g$

$a=2.92164g$

Centripetal force is given by

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=70\times 28.66129935\\\Rightarrow F_c=2006.29095\ N$

The centripetal force is 2006.29095 N radially outward

The torque will be experienced when the centrifuge is speeding up of slowing down i.e., when it is accelerating and decelerating.

Consider the model above. It represents the electrical force. As r increases, the attractive force decreases. How would this mod

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

As we keep on increasing the radius the value of the gravitation force of attraction decreases and as we decrease the radius the gravitation force increases.

Explanation:

Like the coulombs law of electrostatics, the law of gravitation also depends inversely on the square of the value of r. Therefore, as we keep on increasing the value of r the value of the gravitation force decreases and as we decrease the value of the r the value of gravitation force increases.

Gravitation Force= $\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2}}$

Coulombs's Law= $\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2} }{r^{2}}$

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature

shepuryov [24]

You can make sure there's no change in volume by keeping
your gas in a sealed jar with no leaks. Then you can play with
the temperature and the pressure all you want, and you'll know
that the volume is constant.

For 'ideal' gases,

   (pressure) times (volume) is proportional to (temperature).

And if volume is constant, then

   (pressure) is proportional to (temperature) .

So if you increase the temperature from 110K to 235K,
the pressure increases to (235/110) of where it started.

   (400 kPa) x (235/110) = 854.55 kPa. (rounded)

Obviously, choice-b is the right one, but
I don't know where the .46 came from.

Dejamos caer un objeto desde lo alto de una torre y medimos el tiempo que tarda en llegar al suelo que resulta ser de 0,02 minut

Harman [31]

Answer: a) 11.76 m/s b) 7.056 m

Explanation:

The described situation is as follows:

An object is dropped from the top of a tower and when measuring the time it takes to reach the ground that turns out to be 0.02 minutes.

This situation is related to free fall, this also means we have constant acceleration, hence the equations we will use are:

$V_{f}=V_{o}+at$ (1)
